How to Edit a PDF Online for Free: Add Text, Whiteout and Sign

You get a PDF with a wrong date, a missing line or a space for a signature. Most people think they need paid software. You do not. A browser is enough.

What you can do

• Add text anywhere on the page, in any colour and size.
• Edit text: click a line and replace it. The old words are covered with the page colour.
• Whiteout: cover something you do not want to show.
• Highlight and draw on the page.
• Insert a picture such as a stamp or a photo.
• Sign: draw your signature or type your name in a handwriting style.

Steps

1. Open the PDF Editor and choose your file.
2. Pick a tool from the top bar and click or drag on the page.
3. Click any change to move it, resize it or change its colour. Use Undo if you make a mistake.
4. Use the arrows to go to other pages, then download the edited PDF.

An important warning about whiteout

Whiteout only covers the old words. The text can still be inside the file. If the PDF has an Aadhaar number, an account number or anything private, use Redact PDF instead, which removes it for good.

Is it safe?

The editor runs in your browser. Your PDF is not uploaded, so it is a good choice for forms and documents with personal details.
